ANSI Standard date

[Dave]

Hi,

Could somebody please tell me, or point me to an article, that shows me how
to pick up an ANSI standard date directly from
asp (VB Script) code.

The now() function seems to pick up the date with the default settings of
the server.
ie if the date format is dd/mm/yyyy it will pick up 09072003
and if the date format is mm/dd/yyyy it will pick up 07092003

what I am looking for is a function that will always pick up the date in the
format

yyyymmdd

ie

20030709

if there is not a built in VB Script function then can I get this directly
from the registry.

Thanks in advance.


cheers

Dave.

myDDMMYYYY = day(Date()) & "/" & month(Date()) & "/" & year(Date())

or

myYYYYMMDD = year(Date()) & month(Date()) & day(Date())

This won't work: check out what you get for 1/1/2003. You need something
like this:

myYYYYMMDD = year(Date()) & Right("0" & month(Date()),2) & _
Right("0" & day(Date()),2)

The easy way...
Format (Now(), "YYYY-MM-DD")
